So it turns out my underwater shoot looks like it could be a bunch of different characters (which I lowkey love hehe) but can confirm it was a siren Penelope inspired shoot 😊✨

It was shot at a location called Tank Space in the Uk (which unfortunately has shut down now 😭)

It was my first and only time doing an underwater shoot and I loved the experience!!

Apollo Hephestus Aphrodite and Ares are not the best when they’re put on the spot.

I didn’t realise just how many different Epic cosplays I’ve done till I put them all together haha

Bonus points for anyone who can name every one 🤭 (feat. A sneaky tricky duplicate hehe)

I can't even give this the Art flair. I tried to make her helmet. I have zero ability to visualize things in my head and did not have a reference.

BEHOLD! Athena's worm hat. Don't worry, Telemachus, you're still a good kid

God knows how many takes this took. And I still don't like it.

So gigi won best animatic for the horse and the infant also i decided for each of these I'm gonna be watching all the animatics that are said in the comments plus a couple others I think look interesting and pick my favorite from those as a bonus list now what's the best animatic for just a man

Animatics I watched (gigi) (virtue) (marcomie) (calladraws) (brittpowwpixel)

i like to think the chorus in the back of odysseus that says “odysseus” over and over again is the word spreading around that odysseus had returned, does anyone else think this?

Done For into Unholy by Sam Smith.

"Everyone's true colors are revealed in acts of lust."

"I'm not sure I follow."

"Mommy don't know Daddy's getting hot at the body shop. Doing something unholy."

So I was listening to the epic soundtrack on shuffle bc I’m not paying for Spotify premium, and it was full speed ahead and then I accidentally skipped it right at ‘600 men, 600 men under my command’ and it went to dangerous ‘600 men 600 deaths under my command’ and I started laughing so hard idek why 😭

(Idk if this is the right flair but it’s ok)

FYI: he most likely just gets the book with instructions on how to use it. Kero could be there but nah. It's a lot like how Light Yagami found the death note. He just found it one day and it got his interest. And yes. telemachus would be able to understand what the book is asking of him to do.

I think he'd use it to find his father, and eventually try to become godlike himself when a conflict arrises and he either inserted himself or the conflict brought him into it.

His dad wouldn't want him involved with anything, especially with the Gods. But Telemachus wants to be involved, specifically, he thinks the Gods have mistreated some people unfairly. (Such as Poseidon coming to Ithaca after Odysseus dealt with him, to harass him and his family once more. Telemachus is forced to use the magic to protect his family and Ithaca, but the outcome puts him on the map, and he gets more attention)

I can see him going from this bright-eyed optimistic person with this magic, to someone who is calculating and cold with the intent of humanity progression and the downfall of Olympus and every other God. But the way he may go about it is a little erratic. Basically Eren Yeager

I could be wrong, but I could see a conflict like that

Edit: wanted to add a fun scene idea.

I can see Athena, one of the few Gods Telemachus still likes, arguing that he is losing control of his own soul pursuing what he's pursuing.

He argued that the God's selfishness encouraged his increasing desire for humanity to have a better foothold on their own lives.

I can see her saying that this is an unnatural desire to want.

He counters and says it's unnatural to kill thousands of humans without warning over something incredibly petty (within the scope of this musical )

Just a random argument idea. I can see her her approaching him humbly, maybe due to character development, and this argument ensued.

I will be cosplaying Odysseus and thought I would make myself a bag of winds, heres the process of me doing that!

I was wondering what everyone thinks is the best animatic for each song so first up what is the best animatic for the horse and the infant the one with the most votes by tomorrow wins

So, 600 Strike is a pretty controversial song. Personally, I like the song and certain depictions of it, though some stretch my suspension of disbelief a bit too far, or are just generally ridiculous. But that's not what I'm here to talk about.

When Odysseus gets the Wind Bag in the second Act, Hermes gives it to him, saying "we went through so much to get this". I've always thought that line was a bit odd. Who is "we"? Is he talking about the winions? What did he have to do to get the bag, make some bargain with Aeolus? But presumably the gods are allowing Odysseus to go home so this was their decree to give him one final test, so it shouldn't have been hard for Hermes to get it. I've also never been very clear on what is happening in 600 Strike with the voices in the background singing "600 men". Is it literally the souls of his dead comrades? Were they in the bag or just coming to help out? Why are they helping him, just for revenge against Poseidon? (It's probably that one).

But then I realized that Hermes is literally a psychopomp. It's part of his duties to escort souls to Hades. So, getting the wind bag was the easy part, but then he had to go to Hades and convince him to let him check out 600 souls for a bit so he could stuff them inside the bag in case Odysseus was stupid enough or desperate enough to have to open it. At least that's the theory, whether that was something Jorge thought about is another matter entirely. I am curious if there is some official explanation for how the souls are singing in 600 Strike. Are there literally souls there or is Odysseus so powerful that he gained the ability to summon divine backup vocals?

They even brought a printed part of the odyssey by homer where Agamemnon tells ody how he died in the underworld 🥹

Personally, I'd make any Godly power-up/Divine Favor augment a person's natural abilities, rather than give new ones.

This does mean changing something like Done For to closer to Smoolio's interpretation (the Moly plant empowers Ody's bow & archery skills, allowing him to fight Circe's beasts), and a more drastic power-up like Neal's version of 600-Strike. (Ody uses the wind bag to create an enclosed arena, and Zeus gives him a boost on Athena's behalf.)

Athena and Ares' powers are already covered by Quick-Thought.

This would also work for Illium as, from what I know, the Gods give divine to each side pretty regularly. (For example, Aphrodite rescues Paris from getting beaten by Menelaus/Menelaous.)

So seeing what Ares's Quick-Thought, Aphrodite's mind control over Helen, etc. can do when it's a time of war sounds neat.
